Text, image and diagram work together in the process of previsualization. As people react differently well to each of these components, usually all three is the best solution to conveying a clear idea. The text aspect is the shot list and uses specific industry vocabulary. The diagram refers to the over head view of the set. This overhead shows an overall view of camera, actor, and prop positions, including arrows to suggest movement. The image refers to an illustration that mimics what will be actually represented in the frame, or what will be seen from the point of view of the camera. This may also involve arrows or a suggestion of an extended frame to show movement within the frame (by a car, for example) or of the frame (through camera movement). Elements of scale, angle, camera movement, character blocking, and dialogue or action should be demonstrated in each of these components. With a coherent numbering system, the reader should be able to understand the flow and match the elements of the storyboard.
